photoshopped... badly at that
look at the front wheel in the second picture

 

its a concept car still, so i dont car. ive yet to see the new caddy too, m way behind.

 

Word from GMI, is that is the actual production Aveo RS.

The standard Aveo will not have those headlights, the body kit, or the big wheels/tires.

In other words, it will be awful, like most B-class cars.

I believe the standard Aveo is supposed to start production in the summer.

The problem I have, is that they are showing the "all the bells and whistles production performance model" first. After seeing that............. seeing the tiny wheeled, blacked out plastic, no body kit, and boring lighted standard version, is going to be a real letdown.

I don't know how I feel about it. From the rear 3/4 look, it is good............ with the exception of the typical black fill-in panel in the C-pillar. From the front, I don't see it. The grille just looks wrong, and out of proportion.

 

Not really relevant but I recognize that background... it's good old Melbourne town... where the car was initially styled by Holden.

As another person mentioned, it's just a grainy few pics that have been photoshopped. Bigger wheels tend to make every car look better in pics than in person. At least I'm not disappointed with what I see (inside + out).

This car needs to change negative perceptions of GM more than anything. Where GM struggle the most is in the compact/medium segments. Time to rebuild and win back some market share. If Aveo is anything like Cruze it will be a solid product for GM. Fingers crossed.

 

Photoshop or not, I don't think it's bad, it's certainly an improvement.

For a tiny car like that, which is likely to be bought by the young, and the old who want attention or don't care about image, it's probably better that it be overstyled than understyled.

 

I don't think these are shopped. Consider if they are in a printed brochure and laying down on a table then someone takes a picture from an angle from the front of the brochure.

 

I gotta see the real thing, but think I like it. The real beauty will be if it drives great. If it does, then it's gorgeous, if it doesn't, then it's a POS.

 

Some great new pics on GMI.

Looks like current car..only angry. Hardly all new and revolutionary.



I still say it would look best pushed off a cliff. The picture is likely a styling buck..which is why it looks photoshopped.

 

That and some of the wheels don't look aligned properly.

 

Those pics are much better. Imo, it looks nice for what it is. I like it. Wish it had something closer to 180-200hp though.

 

I've been looking into a smaller fun American car as my next ride. This may be it, though I'm not sure if I want to go that small. Have to try it when it's released

Looks great. I'm not too fond of the grill, is it that big because of the turbo? Best looking GM small car yet.

 

I can't see a 138hp turbo engine requiring much airflow over an intercooler. It's probably just to make the car look aggressive.

Since it is turbo charged, I expect a "broad" power band and high gas mileage for its class. Otherwise I will ask myself "why?"
